Why even care? You should be aware whether u have the credentials and experience. Most of the time the rejection is a subjective decision by a small group of people. And as of lately big tech is freezing their hiring anyway.
Keep applying and don't wait for any one company to give any feedback.
- thenoblesunfish 4y agoTwo reasons. First, even if you perfectly know your suitability for the job, it's (perhaps unfortunately) true that interviewing itself is a skill you can improve at. Feedback is in general a great way to improve faster at things, so I think it's natural to want to know why you were rejected. Second, if you were rejected for a reason out of your control that would inform what types of jobs you apply for in the future, so also useful knowledge. I agree in the end that you should accept that you're not going to get much feedback, but it's totally reasonable to want it.
- iExploder 4y agoreceiving feedback sounds good on the paper, and i understand how it would be helpful and ideal to receive it, but its just not how the real world works, as there is no business incentive to provide the feedback. i would say in tech its fairly easy to establish hard skill competence during the interview. the remaining portion of why person gets hired is more fuzzy and is much like dating. they like you or they don't. asking why not rarely leads to any response or a meaningful response, because a lot of times they don't even know why, it might just be a gut feeling thing. i wouldn't obsess about the outcome, as long as person is working on themselves in all areas and keeps trying, success will come.
